Dear All,

May I correct Wolfgang's proposal.

The issue is about formal encoding. RDFS distinguishes forward and backward directions as distinct properties. This had been amended in OWL with the construct inverse of. CIDOC CRM regards the backward direction as a question of label reading and not a ditinct identity. Therefore, P46i forms part of is *NOT* a different property type from P46 is composed of. If "P46i forms part of" would appear in a KB input in an E13 pattern, P140 and P141 should be turned around and P177 adjusted to P46 via input S/W.

We had discussed this as a question of formal logic and identity of properties.

Bet,

Martin

Dear Wolfgang,

Why is this? I have not heard of it before. Is it written?

Best,

    Dear All,

    Property types like "P46i forms part of" are not allowed in an
    Attribute Assignment. Instead, it should be "P46 is composed of
    (forms part of)". Since this isn't common knowledge, the E13 /
    P140 / P141 / P177 scope notes should be amended to mention it.

    Best,
    Wolfgang
